f my life. How did I miss that. I've always loved guns but just recently left a relationship where they weren't welcomed. I have some catching up to do of all the things I've missed out in. Likes ops 12th models.
I bought an 11 inch noveske rail and thought id build my own version but after following this thread for too long, I've realized that it must needs be correct. Now I too must find the KAC RAS. |

KAC has officially stated (in this very forum no less) that they are not discontinuing the rail and will continue to produce it. The next run is scheduled for later this fall/winter. You're trying to sell a $350 rail for $500. Your ads don't even come off as profit-seeking, they come off as predatory. That might have worked in 2012. I'm sure if you dropped the price to ~$400, it'd sell in 30 seconds. Or, if you really want $500 for it, try eBay or Armslist. You'll find a bigger market of less-informed buyers. |

Just like grips and stocks, I'm sure at a certain level of badassery you can do almost anything you want to some degree with your armorer. Leupy rings are nice rings too- but he NF ultralite rings are  I LOVE these things!
Those leupy rings in the pic look like high or xhigh rings 1.2"+ |

What's the general consensus on triggers for an early mod0, KAC, or Geissele?
I am quite familiar with Geissele, but does anyone have experience with the Knights 2-stage? |

KAC triggers in my SR25 & MK12 for 8+ years now, never had an issue with either but if I do at some point experience a problem they will be replaced with SSA-E's. I run an SSA in my 15-22 Mod-H & have some trigger time on my dad's LMT MWS w/ SSA-E.... I prefer the lack of set-screws & the feel of the Geissele over the KAC.

Newer triggers have a silver color to the whole unit. I'm sure it's some style coating, I do not know what the coating is. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman: I've read a few good things about their newer 2-stage match triggers, but I know I would be happy with the Geissele. The SSA in my other mod0 has been stellar, and I don't think I'd lose sleep over slappin' an SSA-E in the old one.

I tried a Geissele in a buddy's Mod0 but I really couldn't tell a huge difference. I'm sure the G is a way nicer trigger but I just didn't shoot it enough to feel the difference. ETA: Gear Sector GS-3P https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5574/14623671279_0c6306cc4c_h.jpg Secretwheelman - that paint job is amazing. Easily one of the best I've seen.

Well I will say this: I'm hunting for an LMT to drop into my carbine because it's affordable and the one I have in my Mk12 runs smooth enough for my liking. I thought about sanding and polishing the contact surfaces but I'll probably just leave it alone.

I guess a Vari-X III non-illum with FFP Premier Mildot reticle will have to do...
ETA: before anyone asks, it is a WEAVER rail, and Unknown VORTEX rings. |

following this thread gets expensive...
I've been wanting an SPR for years and was always drawn to the MK12 style specifically. Eventually I'll have a pretty solid, exact clone. But for now I've got a very usable, close second. PRI Mk12 Upper BCM BCG BCM Lower Geissele G2S B5 SOPMOD LaRue APeg Grip Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40 Mil Dot ARMS #22H rings (new style) I'll get a swivel mount for one of my bipods I have laying around here somewhere...Just need to get around to it... 
Edit - I'm sure I'll get "loved tenderly" for posting this. But I'm pretty happy thus far... |

The vari-x iii with m3 knobs is essentially the precursor to the lr/t line of scopes and is nearly identical so I wouldn't sweat it unless some snob comes up and reads the tiny writing on the forward bell of the scope. |

Technically, the VARI-X III is more correct than the MK4 on the Pre- 2004-2005ish SPRs.... I have two MK4s with N suffix...and this VARI X is a M suffix, and YOUR MK4 3-9x36 is also a M suffix... |

No real "post-worthy" progress made on the Mod H except, now, it sits on its designated lower. I was going for a Colt lower to match the upper, but I couldn't pass up on the deal I got for the Noveske.
Saving up the nickels and dimes for a Leupold Mark 8 and Larue LT-104 mount. The ARMS Rings are on stand-by for a Mod 1 build down the road.
